Robert Pattinson: Worried It’ll Hurt Too Much To See Kristen Stewart

Even though Rob calls Los Angeles home, a source close to the ‘Twilight’ actor tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that living there has been unbelievably stressful for him since breaking up with Kristen.

Robert Pattinson Nervous About Seeing Kristen Stewart

“He’s bracing himself to run into her in some capacity,” a source close to Rob tells HollywoodLife.comexclusively. It’s never easy to see an ex-girlfriend, and even though Rob and K-Stew have been broken up since May, they’ve totally kept their distance from each other. So thinking ahead to the first time he bumps into Kristen, Rob really has no idea how the interaction will go — and that’s terrifying for him.

But it’s going to happen eventually — they live in the same city. “They are in the same social circles, they like the same music,” the source says, “he’s just hoping they can both be adults and it won’t hurt too much.”

Robert Pattinson: Is He Avoiding Kristen Stewart?

Rob currently seems to be delaying the inevitable because of that worry the seeing Kristen will be too painful. On July 25, he went out for a sushi dinner at Shu in a tucked-away corner of Bel Air, which was the perfect place to go if he was trying to avoid K-Stew, a source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively:

Shu is in Bel Air in a small shopping complex, which is about as far as you could get away from Silver Lake/Los Feliz — both the distance and the vibe. It’s a place Kristen would probably never go.

We can completely understand Rob’s trepidations — it’s hard enough to get over a long relationship, seeing the ex for the first time is an even harder step to take. But like Rob, we too hope they can both be civil and that everything goes smoothly when that day comes. And who knows, maybe bumping into each other might spark a reunion!
